When we released the Viper, just over 2 years ago, we knew it was something special and time has proven this. Results have shown it to be the highest performing 16 foot catamaran on the planet, and under handicap one of the best performers of any catamaran in the World. This year alone it has won a host of championships and awards, among them the Raid des Corsaires with a husband and wife team and the Global challenge with a 14 year old crew.
The VIPER is undoubtedly and indisputably the fastest and best performing 5m Racing catamaran in the world. You can sail the VIPER 1 or 2-up and you don’t need to be a giant, it’s possible to win Global Challenge with a 14 year old crew, or sail with your girl friend and win Raid des Corsaires.
